I don't mean this to conflict with Paul's excellent work on Gestures;
my reason for writing it is so that it can be used as an always-on
daemon in the OM distributions. (Full gesture interpretation is more
CPU heavy and requires reading data more often than once per second,
so perhaps that will be done on-demand instead of always-on.)

Maintainership

Would anyone else be interested in being the maintainer of this package?
It would involve packaging it up in bitbake/OE and trying to persuade
the various OM distros to include it by default. (Perhaps with an
on/off control panel entry in distros that make that easy to do?)
